Overview
- Fresh leaks suggest Samsung is developing a Wide Fold model that may reintroduce S Pen support, with a modest thickness increase likely to enable a digitizer layer.
- Renders shared by a prominent leaker indicate a 7.6‑inch inner display, a 5.4‑inch cover screen, and a 4:3 aspect ratio when opened, positioning the device differently from the next Galaxy Z Fold.
- Side‑by‑side renders compare the rumored Wide Fold to an alleged iPhone Fold, showing sharper, near‑right‑angle edges on Samsung’s design versus rounder corners on Apple’s, though Apple details remain inconsistent across sources.
- Conflicting rumors about Apple’s foldable include claims of only black and white color options and an “invisible” crease, which another leaker disputes as still physically present though less pronounced.
- A Korean YouTube stress test of the new Galaxy Z TriFold reported hinge elasticity failure around 144,000 folds after noises began near 61,000, despite Samsung’s 200,000‑fold lab rating that models five years at 100 folds per day.
